Description

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is revolutionizing the financial landscape for entrepreneurs and early-stage investors, particularly in the realm of Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS). Key changes include a significant increase in the capital gains tax exclusion from ten to fifteen million dollars, and the introduction of a phased exclusion for QSBS, allowing for partial gains exclusion after three to five years. The act also raises the gross asset threshold for companies eligible to issue QSBS from fifty to seventy-five million dollars, opening up opportunities for more startups and small businesses. Additionally, provisions such as immediate expense of research and experimental costs and the reinstatement of one hundred percent bonus depreciation help businesses manage their asset levels and extend their eligibility to issue QSBS. These reforms offer strategic opportunities for founders to rethink growth, capital raising, and exit planning.
